Default 2022 IS Memory Package

The Memory Package is $575.00
  • POWER TILT-AND-TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN
  • OUTSIDE MIRRORS WITH AUTO-TILT-DOWN IN REVERSE
  • LEXUS MEMORY SYSTEM FOR DRIVER'S SEAT, OUTSIDE MIRRORS AND STEERING COLUMN

I know this package is included in the IS500 but it’s an option on the IS350.

I’ve been watching inventory at all my local dealers and I’ve never seen an IS350 with this package, why?

Seems odd that no dealers are ordering this option at all for only $575.00

Maybe the build it now is wrong and it’s only available on the IS500?

I can’t believe how hard they make it to get memory seats in an IS throughout the last few years. And when you can get them, you need super low profile tires that are a recipe for disaster in Pennsylvania! Otherwise, I would probably own an IS already.

I believe the 2022 DHP model's have that package. At least at my local dealers.

Not in my part of Florida, all the 350’s with DHP do not have the memory pkg. I’ve seen the photos of their vehicles for sale and none have it. DHP is there but not the memory seats.

Also most dealers have the factory window sticker on line and none of the 350’s with DHP have the memory seats option.

It’s on the IS500 but not the 350’s at least in Florida.

An easy way to tell by looking at 2022 photos of 350’s available at dealers is to look for the 3 button next to drivers door handle. I’ve never seen one on a 350 yet. It’s a $575.00 option so that amount would also appear on the window sticker.

Local dealer has 13 IS350s and at least half have the memory package. Some not even with DHP. Not sure why you’re having this issue.

We always had them in Canada (memory seats and fold down mirrors on reverse). I am SO HALLY we don't have the power adjusting steering column here, even in my IS 500! Worse feature ever, I had it in my 2019 RC and that was the thing I hated the most.

Idk why, but I have a guess that you might be referring to JM Lexus, in which case, I think they are raising the MSRP by adding port options like the carbon fiber mirror caps and the performance exhaust, which net them more money than a factory installed option. That’s why all their DHP cars lack the memory package, but do have the 2 port options. I will admit, I have done an extensive search and in our area it seems VERY difficult to find any 350 with the Memory Package. And even rarer is finding a 350 with the power rear sunshade which is new for 2022. I have both of these options as well as the DHP on my 2022 350, but the reason was mainly that I ordered my car back in September at Lexus of Palm Beach, while Lexus was still doing custom orders, so I was able to get it with all the bells and whistles. In my personal opinion, the memory package is an absolute must. Entering and exiting the vehicle is a piece of cake when the seat and steering wheel retract, and the auto tilt down mirrors are amazing for parking near curbs even though I have the panoramic view camera.

Speaking of performance exhaust $1700 option what exactly does it do it says it gives you more torque at lower and middle range but does it also make your car sound louder? Like neighbors complaining loud?

It's an axle-back exhaust system. It's pretty tame and probably quieter than any aftermarket exhaust. However, that being said it seems to be well-made. No idea on the reality of the mid-range torque gains.
